What is Kashmir Silk Fabric?
- Kashmiri silk is a natural protein fiber that may be woven into textiles in various forms.
- Silk is a protein fiber consisting primarily of fibroin that is generated by some insect larvae to construct cocoons. J&K is the sole state that produces high-quality Bivoltile silk.
- Kashmiri silk weaving and printing are not often practiced in the region. However, cocoon rearing is done on a big scale here, which results in the highest quality silk.
- One of the main activities of the inhabitants of Kashmir is the production of cocoons.
History
- The British funded the establishment of Kashmir's first silk reeling plant at Solina, Srinagar, in 1897.
- Rajbagh saw the establishment of a silk-weaving industry in 1937.
- By 1961-62, the state's silk output had increased to roughly 98,000 kg.
